The Device Status screen displays the basic network settings for your Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router.
When changes are made to the network settings, those changes are updated on this screen. In addition, it graphically displays
the current connection status for the Wireless Broadband Router and other devices in your network. Connections between
network devices are shown with a yellow arrow. Inoperative connections are represented by one red cross through the yellow
connection line (see Figure 1).
NOTE: The TrueMobile 2300 router offers 2 ways to check the status of your network. One is Device Status feature in
web configuration tool mentioned here. The other is through the Windows-based software program -
control utility
. To
learn more about this utility, click on the aforementioned link.
Figure 1. Device Status page
Device Status
The following connections are displayed on the Device Status page:
Device
Indication
An inactive cable/DSL connection indicates that either the cable is unplugged or
the Wireless Broadband Router has not received an IP address.
Page 162 / 178
Internet
An active connection indicates the WAN interface of the router has a valid IP
address and your computers can connect to the Internet via the router.
Wired Client (LAN)
Shown as an active connection when a wired client is configured and physically
connected to your network; inactive when the Ethernet cable is disconnected from
the PC.
Wireless Client
Shown as an active connection when a wireless client is configured for your
network; inactive when there is no wireless client connected to your router.
When the Wireless Broadband Router acts as a DHCP server, it assigns IP addresses to the clients on the network. These IP
addresses are displayed in the
DHCP Log
below the Device Status figure.
WAN Ethernet Settings
Refer to the left-side of the screen for the following WAN Ethernet Settings, and the Internet protocol (IP) settings for the
Wireless Broadband Router:

System Tools: Dell™ TrueMobile™ 2300 Wireless Broadband
Router User's Guide
Use the System Tools section to view the intruder detection log, routing tables, and system diagnostics regarding the device
settings and status. These three pages are for your information only. The System Tools section also includes features to reload
the default settings, upgrade the firmware for the Wireless Broadband Router, and reset the unit.
Use the following pages in the web-based configuration tool to access the System Tools:
Intruder Detection Log
Display Routing Table
System Diagnostic
Load Default Settings
Upgrade Firmware
Reset Device
Intruder Detection Log
Indicator
Description
Event
Type of attack that the router detects
Time
Based on the timestamp of the IP packet, plus or minus the time offset
Source
IP address that the packet came from
Dest (=Destination)
Usually the IP address for the Wireless Broadband Router
Port
Port number
The figure below shows an example of an entry of an Intrusion attempt (INT_ATEMPT) event from a computer with IP address
192.168.2.60 (Source) targeted at the router's port number 80 at time 12 AM:1 Min: 5 Sec.

Display Routing Table
Indicator
Description
Type
The type of routing. This can be either:
LAN or WAN interface (INTF)
Static routing
Destination LAN IP
Address
Either an entire network or a specific IP address. An IP address ending in .0 refers to a
network.
Subnet Mask
Must follow the subnet mask rules
Gateway IP Address
To communicate with an IP address matching the destination IP Address, the Wireless
Broadband Router sends all traffic through the gateway IP address listed here.
Hop Count
The number of routers the packet has passed through to its destination. Hop count is used to
measure the distance between a source and a destination. If there are 3 routers between the
source and the destination nodes, the hop count for the packet will be 3 when it arrives at its
destination node.
The figure below shows three network routes that your router currently possesses. 192.168.2.0 is the destination network
connected to one of your router's interface port (LAN or WAN) and the IP address and Subnet Mask for this interface is
192.168.2.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively. The number of routers (Hop Count) the packet passed through is 1. Also in the
same example, the destination with 0.0.0.0 network and 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask is the default route for your router, where every
packet that left unmapped to any other route will be mapped to this route. The outgoing default gateway IP address is
192.168.1.254.
